Can only get a player you traded a year to the date of the trade.


Some are intimating that trade was never really announced/finalized/could be reworked -- don't know if that holds any water though.


I'm the leader of that intimation, and of course it does. But Phoenix would of course have to consent.

Can we just get a legit big man that can protect the rim? No to undersized centers like looney. We already have a 6’1” pg, and 6’4” shooting guard, Tatum for pf. Man, that’s as small as you can get. smh

Brown is already complaining about playing time and Brad's favoring of Hayward.

Please Danny save us from another season of this!!!

Everyone knows that Jaylen is coming off the bench, right?

We're not paying Hayward 30mil to come off the bench.

So Jaylen is NOT going to happy. Especially after the guy in his class who got picked after him is making bank.

It's gonna Brad's fault and not the fact that he turns the ball over and can't hit FTs.

Please don't make us relive this again next season. We are gonna lose games because we have no rebounding and JB is gonna start skwaking becsuse he's not getting his touches.

It's soooo obvious.

Unlikely, but I now am hoping for this to fail.

Knicks should be pouncing hard on this, but they won't.

Could we, or would it make any sense to try to engage with philly in a S&T for Horford here and take something back from Miami to help the Butler thing happen. Does that help anybody? Zoya?

What the hell am I still doing awake?

One thing that makes me happy though -- Marcus Smart is still a Celtic.

HE'S STILL A CELTIC, RIGHT?!?!

Shrewsberry, Horford, and Baynes already died for our past season's sins. Don't want my favorite Celtic shipped off too. Also, **** Kyrie. Irrational as it is, I blame him for most of this.

It's actually pretty rational.

On a side not to me worst contract so far: Murray, no way in **** Hell he's getting 30_ mils a year. Dude averaged over 15 pts on .430 from the field .367 from 3. Dude ain't nothing special. That's superstar(ish) money.
Good assessment:

When a roster is out of balance, it does not fix itself.

It just makes you lose games you should /could win, and then start pointing fingers.

The trade deadline doesn't work and it's too far away. The season will be lost by that point.

Why not ? If he didn’t get injured their would’ve been a number of teams lined up to offer him the max.


Dunno about that.

McGee is one Danny tried to get before. I’ve felt he has been underrated. He had a solid season of the Lakers. Wonder is Boston is looking at him.

Part of me feels there still might be a trade for a big as well. It’s hard to say at this point.

Yep, we never wanted him.

Would be amazed if we actually back-flipped on bringing in a locker-room cancer seeing what Kyrie did to us last season.

Probably our best option at center at this point
